With apologies in advance if this is the wrong mailing list for this, after upgrading from 2.6.30 to 2.6.31 I get the following warnings in syslog frequently Oct 9 12:19:21 jdc kernel: [ 1785.096275] sd 6:1:0:0: strange observation, the queue depth is (64) meanwhile fw queue depth (65) Oct 9 12:19:51 jdc kernel: [ 1815.312019] sd 6:1:0:0: Queue depth not changed yet The Debian bug report is here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550190 Following a suggestion by Debian developers, I tried patching 2.6.31.3 with this commit, but with no effect. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d2e9d66a3f032667934144cd61c396ba49f090d However, this also shows the problem can be reproduced under 2.6.31.3. I would prefer to avoid running git bisect on this machine if I can, but I'll gladly test a patch if it is unlikely to corrupt the file system. HP XW6400 workstation, two SAS drives configured for striping, x86-64 architecture. I haven't noticed any file corruption so far - I'm not sure how serious this problem is. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
